III Jiangshan

When Yuan Youqi arrived at the Prince's Mansion in Jinan County, apart from the prince and his wife, all the princes, clan, noble relatives and other guests were present.

Before the host and his wife had time to welcome them out, Yuan Chengxuan ran out to meet Yuan Youqi first.

"Old Ninth, you're late!" Yuan Chengxuan clasped Yuan Youqi's shoulders in a big way, as if he was a good brother.

In contrast, Yuan Youqi's expression was much calmer than his.She gave a calm "hmm" and asked, "Are the prince and third brother both here?"

"The prince is naturally the finale!" Yuan Chengxuan said, and then snorted, "Just to join in the fun, when did you see the third child lagging behind?"

"Old Qi, what are you talking about me!" A cool voice sounded not far away.

Yuan Chengxuan twitched the corners of his eyes when he heard the voice, and said to the owner of the voice: "Huh! What can I say, brother? Naturally, I'm talking good things about third brother!"

The one who spoke was none other than Yuan Chengbai, Prince of Langya County, the third son of the emperor.He and Yuan Chengxuan had always been at odds, and it was nothing new for the two to argue anytime and anywhere.

"Third brother!" Yuan Youqi saluted Yuan Chengbai following the etiquette.

Yuan Chengbai smiled slightly and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the ninth brother has grown up again!"

Yuan Youqi also said politely: "I don't know about Ling Yi's sister's illness, but is she well?"

When Yuan Chengbai heard the other party mention his own mother and sister who was very favored not long after birth, his face froze, and he covered it with a smile, saying: "It's all over now. Lao Jiu is worried!"

Fengyi Palace and Cuiweixuan have no intersection.If there is any overlap, it is also the former Ding Jieyu, and the newly promoted Concubine Ding Ling often suffers from the bad luck of Fengyi Palace.

Even so, Yuan Youqi still likes the newborn little sister Yuan Lingyi very much.

Immediately afterwards, clever clan members and noble relatives came out to welcome them.

Yuan Youqi was Emperor Wei's favorite prince, and everyone inside and outside the court knew about this matter.Such a popular figure, coupled with the power of the Wei family behind him, is full of people with different ideas who deliberately cling to him.

Yuan Youqi then met them and went in together.

Yuan Chengxuan was still walking next to her, squinting at Yuan Chengbai who was not far away with a rather ugly face, and said in a low voice: "Hey! The third child has lived for 25 years, and he didn't get the slightest attention from the emperor. Little The younger sister was born just a few months ago, and she has received so much care and favor from the emperor... Haha! Look at the face of the third child, it is so green!"

The corners of Yuan Youqi's mouth twitched slightly, Seventh Brother Xindao, you are too naive, right?

But her expression remained calm, and she said, "Sister-in-law San is also here?"

Yuan Chengxuan glanced at her, feeling that she seemed to be in a bad mood, and followed her words and said, "Of course! Brother Prince and sister-in-law will also come later..."

As he spoke, he said meaningfully: "My brothers, they all have families! You are the only one missing, old nine!"

Yuan Youqi was being poked into his heart, and the news of his mother and concubine that he heard from Fengrou in Fengming Tower before turned upside down.She had a blank face, only feeling that any good mood was gone at this moment.

Before the crown prince and princess concubine arrived, no one dared to open the banquet, so they talked to each other.

Yuan Youqi met the fourth elder brother and fourth sister-in-law, and ordered Tang Xi to present a congratulatory gift, and then teased Yuan Chun for a while.The brothers talked politely for a while, and there was nothing more to say.

She and her fourth brother really don't have much in common to talk about.

Yuan Chengping also felt that the atmosphere was awkward, he laughed and said: "Brother Prince has not arrived yet, the ninth brother likes to be lively, so why don't you take a stroll in my garden, how about it?"

He grinned suddenly, and said: "In the back garden, all the female relatives are sitting and chatting, my third brother and seventh brother and I have families..."

The implication is that it is not easy for people with families to hang out with the female relatives. He can no longer accompany Yuan Youqi to the back garden.

After hearing what he said, Yuan Youqi knew that he meant to help her lead the red line, and her face turned pale: Why do everyone want her to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible?But never ask her, who do you want to marry?

She was brought up very well by Concubine Wei Xian since she was a child, especially this quiet skill that does not reveal her true intentions was cultivated by Concubine Wei Xian.She will lose her composure in front of Gu Heng, she will show her true appearance in Fengyi Palace, and she will occasionally lose her temper in Fengming Tower, it is because she trusts Gu Heng, mother concubine, and Fengrou in her heart .However, when dealing with others, the mask on her face has never been tightly covered.

"Thank you, fourth brother, for your kindness. My younger brother will go and have a look," Yuan Youqi said with a smile, "I heard that my fourth brother hired a craftsman to re-decorate the garden. My younger brother is really curious."

Yuan Chengping was also very happy when he heard the words, so he summoned his personal and trusted eunuch, and told him to "follow Master Jiu for a good life" and "serve with all his heart" and so on.

A group of female relatives, led by Princess Ding of Jinan County, drank tea, chatted and watched the scenery in the back garden.

As soon as Yuan Youqi passed a corridor, he heard the woman's talking and laughing from a distance.She paused, a little hesitant.

The young eunuch who was leading the way ahead had a very winking look, and when he saw this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's our princess, and all the guests of the relatives' house are all familiar to you, Lord Jiu."

The implication is that there is no hindrance between men and women.

Yuan Youqi nodded slightly, and walked in again.

Yuan Chengbai's wife, Hu Shi, has sharp eyes and a sharp mouth. When she caught a glimpse of Yuan Youqi approaching from a distance, she laughed "Pu Chi" first: "Look at our old nine! This dress looks like a bridegroom official." Like a child!"

As soon as she uttered such a voice, all the nearby female relatives gathered their eyes and focused on Yuan Youqi.

Yuan Youqi blushed immediately.

Because celebrating Yuan Chun's first birthday today is a festive event, she specially wore a brand-new crimson robe embroidered with flowing clouds and dark gold patterns. With her handsome facial features and tall and straight figure, she looked like a banished immortal. A handsome young man like a child.

Seeing her appearance, several young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet couldn't help pursing their lips, blushing, and lowering their eyebrows.

"Sister-in-law San is joking!" Yuan Youqi said awkwardly.

Yuan Chengping's wife is from the Ding family.The Ding family is good at being a chancellor, and their family education is excellent. The Ding family is naturally polite and restrained. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's rare for the ninth brother to come to the house, so please be more casual!"

The heat on Yuan Youqi's face dissipated a bit, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Sisao!"

Since she is a man, there is no reason for her to mix with the female family members. She originally planned to withdraw after a few words, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Hu is not a worry-free person.

Mrs. Hu glanced at the little sister of the Qi family, Qi Wan, who was twirling a peony and drooping her eyes not far away, covered her lips and said with a smile: "Miss Qi San is dressed well today, she looks like our old ninth..."

She covered her lips with a handkerchief and said no more.

When everyone heard the words, their eyes all focused on Qi Wan again.But seeing her wearing a concubine-colored skirt embroidered with magpie jumping branches, doesn't it look like a pair with Yuan Youqi's scarlet robe?

Women always like to discuss this kind of thing the most. How can a group of women gather together and chat without chirping?

In this situation, when this topic was brought up, someone was already looking back and forth between Yuan Youqi and Qi Wan either with complicated eyes or furtively.What's more, after hearing Hu Shi's words, he couldn't help snickering.

Even Qi Wan, who is a well-bred lady, can't help such teasing.Her face turned into a red cloth with embarrassment, and even her porcelain-white neck was flushed.She glanced at her eldest sister Qi Xuan for help, and couldn't help but peek at Yuan Youqi's reaction.

Qi Xuan and Yuan Chengxuan can be called a husband and wife, and they also hate Yuan Chengbai and his wife very much.She has been keenly aware that Hu's move is aimed at herself and Yuan Chengxuan.

She has always been kind to her younger sister, how could she just sit idly by and let her name be defiled?

However, before she could open her mouth, Yuan Youqi said first: "Sister-in-law San was joking! Haven't sister-in-law heard of 'teenagers love color'? When she was young, sister-in-law San thought she liked bright colors just like my younger brother and everyone present. The color of the clothes, right?"

Hu's smiling face immediately turned cold.Yuan Youqi's words are undoubtedly embarrassing to her because she is too old to support bright clothes, let alone understand the thoughts of young people.

In fact, she is only in her early twenties now, how can such words not make her angry?

She was about to explode, but Yuan Youqi cupped his hands towards the crowd and said: "Everyone rejoice, Xiao Wang will leave for the time being!"

After finishing speaking, he took the young eunuch and Tang Xi and walked away towards the depths of the courtyard.

The Hu family was originally teasing the old nine, and by the way, shamed the sisters of the Qi family, but unexpectedly, he was shabby by the old nine who had never met.

Her face was pale, and she couldn't recover for a while, she just felt that her breath was held in her heart, and she couldn't get out or get out.

Seeing Yuan Youqi leaving just like that, Mrs. Hu stared dryly, and the female relatives beside her more or less sensed something different from the conversation between the uncle and sister-in-law.Family affairs are never trivial, and no one wants to be the unlucky one who gets involved, even the slowest responders, now they are looking for someone who is close to them, chatting and hanging out to hide themselves.

Only Qi Wan, staring at Yuan Youqi's far away direction, felt that Yuan Youqi's words just now were really heart-warming.

She didn't know that Yuan Youqi was in a bad mood today because of Fengrou, so she accidentally contradicted her third sister-in-law. She actually thought of going in another direction——

She thought that Yuan Youqi was fighting for her.

As a result, she could no longer stay by her elder sister Qi Xuan's side peacefully, and after staring into the depths of the courtyard for many times, she bit her lips and remained silent.

After a while, she finally made up her mind, said something to Qi Xuan in a low voice, and no matter how Qi Xuan reacted, she took her personal maid to pursue Yuan Youqi.

Hu Shi was also quite surprised to see the concubine-like figure leaving in a hurry.Then he snorted coldly, feeling that he was as wise and foresighted as Zhuge was alive: The third girl of the Qi family is really shameless!

She glanced at Qi Xuan, who was too late to stop the younger sister, who had an anxious expression on her face, and couldn't hide it. She was in a good mood immediately, and said to her heart that the two sisters are as good as one!

If Lao Qi's future wife and sister cause trouble, it is equivalent to Lao Qi causing trouble. Hu was very relieved, his chin slightly raised, and hummed: "Look! I knew it! Miss Qi San only wore it for Lao Jiu's sake." It's done! Look at the eagerness!"

What she said was actually addressed to Ding Shi who was at the side.

The situation in front of him, as well as Hu's words, Ding's nothing left behind.However, she pretended not to see or hear, turned her face away, and warmly greeted a certain family member.

The author has something to say: The respective attitudes of the female family members are actually the attitudes of their own family members~
